    ** Warning - footage shows man being knocked down **

    http://www.break.com/index/british-driver-chases-hit-and-run-driver-2081144

    A man sees a woman driving dangerously and decides to follow her. She ends up knocking an elderly man down and flees the scene. The man chases her, calls the police and blocks her in until the police get to her.

    Further to this the man recording the footage added:

    “The elderly gentleman survived and had cuts under chin and was badly bruised, her excuse was she was late for work. No news reports were made, and she got away lightly with a 2 year suspended, 200 hours community service, 2 year ban and had to pay the victim £500 compensation.”

    Shocking stuff.

    I can't believe that, that is totally outrageous!

    What was that doddery aul lad doing hobbling along the middle of the road in the first place?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    What a bitch, seems like a complete sociopath!!
    I admire what the guys did, but at the speed they were going to catch up with her they could have hit someone themselves. Still, they probably weren't thinking about that in the moment.

    I still can't believe someone could do what she did. Such a disregard for another person. I hope she was fired for being late on top of the punishment from the police.

    That man really kept his cool, in both his driving and how he dealt with her. Fair play. Pity the judiciary were so ****ing lenient.

    Nice to know that there are decent people out there. Lets not forget the guy who hopped out to look after the victim too.

    Is she hot......












    Seriously though what a ****ing scumbag

    She will be, when she lands in hell.

    She was probably putting on her make up and never saw him

    There isn`t enough make up in the world to fix that.

    Once... twice... three times a... bitch, I suppose.

    2 year suspended sentence? what? surely that's jail time wft? she's insane


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    She didnt even make any attempt to stop just before she hit the old man. Shame she got off so lightly though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭elmer


    she would have gotten more if the guy she hit died - but i don't think anyone wants that. here's hoping we never hear about her again :/

    You can add this to your tally - what an absolute nut bitch that bucket of scum is. A life driving ban and at least 5 years in jail is the minimum she should have got. The man bounced off her car and she never saw a thing, an absolute lying kunt to boot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,662 ✭✭✭RMD


    No matter how little attention she was paying to her surroundings, there's no way she could have missed someone walking out onto the road let alone the sound of someone being hit by a car.

    That animal deserves time behind bars, fair play to your man for following her. If I was driving like that I'd expect a 2-3 ban at minimum, if I knocked someone over and fled the scene, continually denied it even when evidence of damage is there I'd expect 3-5 years behind bars. She shouldn't be able to ever sit in a drivers seat again.

    Watched the vid there, fairly mad stuff, fair play to the lads videoing it calling the cops, but I'm still trying to figure out why they had a camera on the dashboard in the first place.

    She was probably putting on her mascara when she flattened the oap.

    I journey to work each day on the bus travelling down the N4, as I look out the window it's bonkers how many females I see applying makeup to their faces driving at full pelt!

    WTF is wrong with these folk? not sure if there's ever been any telly adverts about women non safely driving while putting make up on but I know there's been some with men looking out the window at hot chick's asses then crashing.

    System seems a bit fooked up and one sided tbh.

    Wow, just wow.

    How can you not know you hit someone or even came close to it?

    Jesus if I ran over a rabbit I'd feel it even when I'm driving a jeep

    I couldn't get that other website on fullscreen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭lastlaugh


    Realistically, it should recieve a 10 year ban at the least for such ridiculously dangerous driving.

    that guy is blessed, she was doing at least 50mph/80k how he didnt hit the front of the car after impact I dont know :confused:
    lucky man, well you know what I mean.

    Can't believe she didn't get a custodial sentence for that. We have to put up with this kind of soft sentencing every day from judges. It's frustrating beyond belief. What makes it even more frustrating is very few people who have been banned from driving actually abide by the judgment.

    This happens ALL the time. Unfortunately the media are only interested when a life has been lost. This kind of stuff wouldn't be considered newsworthy enough to make it to print.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭greenybaby


    seen this a few days ago alright, imo dash cams should be in every car

    A lot of people are actually installing them now because of the amount of people putting in false claims against them etc.

    Looking forward to seeing the road safety advert with a male driver late for work knocking down an elderly gentleman and ending with him standing behind prison bars.
